IntroductionThe Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has been delegatedcertain responsibilities for ensuring compliance with Section 106 of the National HistoricPreservation Act (Section 106) on federally funded highway projects. This delegationauthority comes from a signed Programmatic Agreement [signed in 2010 and amendedin 2017] between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Advisory Council onHistoric Preservation (ACHP), the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office(SHPO), and PennDOT. Stipulation X.D of the amended Programmatic Agreement (PA)requires PennDOT to prepare an annual report on activities carried out under the PAand provide it to the FHWA, SHPO and ACHP within in 60 days of the new calendaryear. The following document, therefore, is PennDOT’s good-faith effort to comply withthis Stipulation.This document does not pertain to, or include information related to, state-fundedprojects (i.e., those projects solely intending to comply with the Pennsylvania StateHistory Code), nor for those projects requiring permits from any other federal agency(e.g., United States Army Corps of Engineers [USACE] or US Coast Guard) whichwould render those agencies the lead federal agency for a Section 106 undertaking, orfrom other bureaus outside of the Bureau of Project Delivery (e.g., Bureau of Aviation,Public Transportation, Motor Vehicles, etc.).The period covered in this annual review is between January 1 and December 31,2019 and provides summary statistics on: projects exempted from Section 106 review;effect findings (i.e., no effects, no adverse effects, and adverse effects); information onSHPO objections to effects determinations; an update on PennDOT Cultural ResourceProfessionals (CRPs) and District Designees (DDs) staffing and training to maintaintheir delegation to review projects under the PA; and finally, a few notable successstories.Summary of Projects Reviewed under the PAThe heart of this document comes from Section X.D of the amended PA whichstates: “PennDOT will prepare an annual report on the activities carried out under thisAmended PA. The report will include a list of projects and findings made by PennDOT.The report may also identify issues and make recommendations for improving theimplementation of this Amended PA. PennDOT will submit the report to the signatoriesof this Amended PA, within 60 days of the start of the calendar year. The report willserve as the basis for an annual review of this Amended PA.”This section provides a statistical summary of projects reviewed by PennDOTDistrict Designees (DDs) and Cultural Resource Professionals (CRPs), describes SHPOSection 106 PA Annual Report for 20191
disagreements with determinations of eligibility and effect made by PennDOT, andsummarizes comments made by federally recognized Tribes/Nations and consultingparties on projects. The data in the tables below are derived from PennDOT’s onlinecultural resources public consultation website called “Pennsylvania Heritage andTransportation (PATH)” which can be found at https://path.penndot.gov/.ExemptionsAppendix C of the Amended PA contains a list of project activities that may beexempted from further Section 106 review provided that the activities meet certainconditions. The activities on the list, with the conditions imposed, should have nopotential to effect historic properties. Appendix C of the Amended PA is divided into twosections, Level 1 activities and Level 2 activities. Level 1 activities may be exempted byeither DDs or CRPs, while Level 2 activities can only be exempted by CRPs.Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, PennDOT exempted 256federally-funded projects from further review, with DDs exempting 92 projects andCRPs exempting 164. The table below summarizes the number of exemptions made byeach District and by the DDs and CRPs. A more detailed spreadsheet including a list ofprojects that were exempted (by District and MPMS#), the exemption type per AppendixC of the Amended PA, the person making the exemption, and the date the exemptionwas made, can be found in Appendix A of this report.EXEMPTED 38317124TOTAL92164256*Note: District 99 is a code reserved for projects originating in PennDOT’s Central Office.Section 106 PA Annual Report for 20192
Review of Non-Exempt Projects by CRPsIn addition to the 256 exempted projects, PennDOT also made 220 effectdeterminations. This includes: 165 findings of “no effect” (75%), 42 findings of “noadverse effect” (19%), and 13 findings of “adverse effects” (6%). These numbers aresimilar to the past several years of project undertakings and effect findings. The belowtable categorizes the effect findings by PennDOT Engineering Districts. A full listing ofproject findings can be found in Appendix B.Effects DeterminationsDistrictNo 217111616No 32201524151716362424111919Disagreements/Objections and Concerns Expressed by the SHPO onEligibility and EffectsA large component of PennDOT’s project delivery program and consultation underSection 106 relies on the inherent trust placed on it, and built over many years, by theSHPO and FHWA to submit projects without review and/or concurrence. As spelled outin the delegation programmatic agreement, PennDOT is only required to consult withthe SHPO on findings of “no adverse effect,” under certain conditions as outlined in theAmended PA, and all “adverse effect” findings. PennDOT’s CRPs may also consult withSHPO and seek concurrence outside of these scenarios at their discretion. Typically,this may include concurrence on level of identification, mitigation, and other consultationas part of the Section 106 undertaking. In total, PennDOT CRPs requested concurrencefrom SHPO 110 times (28 for eligibility and 82 for effects determinations) during 2019.Of those requests, seven resulted in a disagreement or objection from SHPO. All ofSection 106 PA Annual Report for 20193
these objections were resolved through further consultation, or are on-going as of thedrafting of this report. The below table enumerates the total number of eligibility andeffects concurrence requests by Engineering District:SHPO Concurrence 2110SHPO Disagreements or Unresolved Requests for Additional Information District 3-0, Lycoming Co., SR 0405-069, MPMS# 6261, ER# 2003-6027-081:While not an outright objection, SHPO requested additional information on abridge rehabilitation memo submittal before providing concurrence. Therequest for additional information included a series of questions, includingproviding examples of other “T-Beam” bridge rehabs. Consultation on thisproject is continuing. District 4-0, Luzerne Co., SR 0011-355, MPMS# 67434, ER# 2020-8030-079:SHPO requested additional information on the proposed truss rehab,specifically noting that “the Rehabilitation Analysis does not adequatelydocument the proposed project.” PennDOT is actively working with SHPO toresolve the additional information request. SHPO disagreed with PennDOT'seffects determination of the bridge over the Reading, Blue Mountain andNorthern Railroad (RBMNRR). SHPO specifically questioned the need toprovide a pedestrian crossing and if the bridge could be rehabilitated withoutwidening. PennDOT provided justification for need for a pedestrian crossingand that widening does not meet the project need. SHPO concurred with thisdetermination District 5-0, Berks Co., SR 2016-01B, MPSM# 10527, ER# 2015-8142-011:SHPO disagreed with PennDOT's effects determination of the bridge over theSection 106 PA Annual Report for 20194
Reading, Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad (RBMNRR). SHPOspecifically questioned the need to provide a pedestrian crossing and if thebridge could be rehabilitated without widening. PennDOT providedjustification for need for a pedestrian crossing and that widening does notmeet the project need. SHPO concurred with this determination. District 6-0, Chester Co., SR 0202-CNM, MPMS# 95430, ER# 2014-8073029: SHPO disagreed with the PennDOT's assessment that the project wouldhave no effect to the Westtown Inn, specifically on any vibrational impactsthat may affect the resource. Consultation to resolve this objection is ongoing. District 6-0, Montgomery Co., SR 0023-2NG, MPMS# 66952, ER# 20048051-091: PennDOT requested concurrence from SHPO that a masonryculvert is not individually eligible for listing in the National Register of HistoricPlaces and does not contribute to the Valley Forge National Historic Park orValley Forge National Historic Landmark. SHPO disagreed noting that theyfelt the bridge was a contributing resource under Criterion A for its associationwith the locally significant lime industry of Port Kennedy. In response toSHPO's disagreement, PennDOT provided information indicating that there isno evidence that the culvert is associated with the lime industry and the ageof the culvert is unknown. SHPO continues to disagree and maintains that theculvert is a contributing resource to the National Register-listed Valley ForgeNational Historical Park. Consultation to resolve the objection is on-going. District 6-0, Montgomery Co., SR 7046-232, MPSM# 16408, ER# 2006-8063091: SHPO disagreed with PennDOT's rehabilitation analysis stating that"more information is needed to substantiate the project needs and the inabilityof the current bridge to rehabilitated in a manner that meets those needs."Consultation is on-going for this project. District 8-0, Lancaster Co., SR 7226-BRG, MPMS# 94751, ER# 2017-8065071: PA SHPO concurred with the eligibility finding that the Hershey Farmand Lapp Farm are not individually eligible but disagreed with PennDOT'sdetermination that the Lapp Farm did not contributes to the rural historicdistrict. Consultation is on-going.Public and Tribal ConsultationThe amended PA, as well as the regulations implementing Section 106 (36 CFR §800), places a strong emphasis on meeting the spirit of Section 106 in terms ofengaging the public in projects, and seeking public and consulting party input onprojects, including ways to avoid, minimize and/or mitigate effects to historic properties.PennDOT, working in conjunction with the SHPO, continued to build upon relationshipswith community organizations and forge new relationships. In 2019, PennDOTSection 106 PA Annual Report for 20195
continued its efforts to identify new ways to involve the public, since it is often difficult toget people to come out to meetings, even when they care about historic resources intheir community. This included a complete reorganization of the Cultural Resourceswebsite, which is now nested within PennDOT’s website, and can be found ural%20Resources/Pages/default.aspx. The previous webpage had been hosted on a private website outside of theCommonwealth’s servers. The new website will facilitate searching of marketed historicbridges, searching of various PennDOT cultural resources booklets and videos, andprovide for a much better overview of the program, in general.PennDOT’s public consultation website continues to evolve as we attempt to look atways of improving its functionality. Major upgrades were undertaken in 2019 includingthe system receiving a new URL (https://path.penndot.gov), to better associate it withbeing a PennDOT product, and moving onto PennDOT servers. The system is nowsimply known as “PATH” or “Pennsylvania Heritage and Transportation;” formerly, itwas known as “ProjectPATH”.PennDOT and PA SHPO have had on-going meetings throughout 2019 to preparefor the roll-out of SHPO’s new file management system called “PA-SHARE.” The intent,from PennDOT’s perspective, is to reduce duplication of efforts from both agencies. Theintegrated system between PATH and PA-SHARE should be able to seamlessly sharefiles without SHPO having to go into PATH and reducing the need of CRPs to go intoPA-SHARE. The systems integration is supposed to be fully developed andimplemented in late 2020.Training and Delegation under the PAThe PA contains a requirement that anyone reviewing projects must receive trainingto both attain and retain delegation to make exemptions or findings. To receivedelegation to operate under the PA, both the District Designees (DD) and CulturalResource Professionals (CRP), must have taken a Section 106 introductory course,training on the terms and application of the PA, and SHPO Cultural Resource Training.To retain delegation the signatories to the PA agreed that PennDOT CRPs or DDs maysubstitute attendance at the/Statewide Conference on Heritage which is hosted by thePHMC and Preservation Pennsylvania, the statewide historic preservation advocacyorganization.PennDOT’s Cultural Resource Unit in Central Office maintains a list of the currentCRPs and DDs and the training they have taken.Section 106 PA Annual Report for 20196
The following training was made available to CRPs and DDs during calendar year2019: Section 106 Principles and Practice (Intro), held in conjunction with the State HeritageConference, June 17-19. Byways to the Past/Statewide Conference on Heritage – June 19-21, 2019 Cultural Resources Group Meeting, Laurel Hill State Park – September 18, 2019. Handbook refresher training for District Designees at PennDOT’s EnvironmentalManagers Meeting, Oct 30-31, Nov. 1, 2019.A. Staffing ChangesPennDOT’s cultural resources program underwent a major change in 2019 withmultiple staffing retirements. Ira Beckerman, PhD., the head of the cultural resourcesprogram for 25 years, retired in late 2018. Kara Russell, who was previously thearchitectural historian supervisor, replaced Dr. Beckerman. This created a vacancy foran architectural historian supervisor. Kris Thompson, who previously worked as acultural resource professional in District 5-0 and 4-0, was selected for this position andretained her CRP duties in 5-0. These two changes created an opening in the stafflevel. After some staffing adjustments, PennDOT created an architectural historianposition for Districts 9-0 and 12-0, which will be filled during calendar year 2020.Another opening was created at the staff level with the retirement of Cathy Spohn, theDistrict 6-0 archaeologist. She had also been with the Commonwealth for more than 20years and retired in May 2019. PennDOT is actively seeking to fill this position by themiddle of 2020. Lastly, Joe Baker, who maintained the cultural resources unit’s website,was head of the Pennsylvania Highway Archaeological Survey Team (PHAST)program, and intern coordinator and mentor, also retired at the end of May 2019. Hisposition will be converted to a historic bridge planner to primarily assist in the trackingand marketing of PennDOT’s historic truss bridge program and management of otherhistoric bridge types and programs.B. Consultant SupportPennDOT staff continues to rely on its consultant community of professionals to infill and supplement where needed. All consultant CRPs meet the same rigorousstandards as permanent staff, including meeting Secretary of the Interior standards andqualifications and PennDOT’s delegation process. Newly “delegated” consultant CRPsfor 2019 include Charles Richmond (architectural historian) from McCormack Taylor,Section 106 PA Annual Report for 20197
and Matt Hamel (architectural historian, and former PennDOT CRP) from AECOM.Laura Ricketts, from Markosky, served as the consultant CRP for District 12-0 and willcontinue to until that position is permanently filled. Lindsey Allen also providedconsultant support for District 3-0 and 4-0. However, she is nearly finished with this taskas PennDOT’s Heather Gerling is now a delegated CRP.Success Stories District 1-0: Erie Co., US 6N & PA 99 Intersection Improvements, MPMS#109901During cultural resources investigations in support of the US 6N & PA 99Intersection Improvement project in Edinboro, Erie County, PennDOT’s CulturalResource Professional (CRP) for District 1-0 identified a locally prominent landmarkwithin the project Area of Potential Effect. During consultation with PreservationErie, it became apparent to the CRP that the 1929 “Crossroads Dinor” was a locallysignificant diner noted for its long history in Edinboro. Following a cultural resourceassessment of the property the CRP determined that the building does not meetNational Register of Historic Places eligibility due to compromised historic integrity.Nevertheless, the resource is an important asset to the community and meritsconsideration for preservation. The PennDOT design team concluded to avoid theproperty by developing an alternative that meets project purpose and need whileavoiding direct impacts to the Crossroads Dinor.Section 106 PA Annual Report for 20198
District 4-0: Pike Co., Mott Street Bridge Rehab, MPMS# 104324After nearly twenty years of planning, Pike County, with the assistance of PennDOTand FWHA, completed the rehabilitation of a 1903, Pratt truss bridge at the end of2019. The rehabilitation of this bridge was a major achievement. Mott Street Bridgeis a rare surviving example of a Pratt Truss from the early 20th century and is one ofa few remaining examples from this region. The National Park Service, DelawareWater Gap, was also a sponsor of the project as the bridge provides a crucial linkfrom the Park’s trail network into the borough of Milford.Section 106 PA Annual Report for 20199
Re-opening of Mott Street in the press: EA763600 District 5-0: Berks Co., Penn Street Bridge Rehab, MPMS# 10740The Penn Street Bridge Project in Reading concluded with a ribbon cutting inDecember of 2019. This 14-span open spandrel concrete arch bridge, constructed in1913, is the oldest of its type in Berks County. PennDOT determined it NationalRegister-eligible in 2007 under Criterion C, as a well-preserved regional example ofbridges that represent City Beautiful movement tenants. Section 106 consultingparty involvement was robust from the identification of resources stage throughconstruction. Consulting parties weighed in on preliminary engineering rehabilitationconcepts, provided impactful suggestions during the final design phase, andreviewed test panels and color samples in construction. Several historic postcards ofSection 106 PA Annual Report for 201910
the bridge informed decisions to reconstruct missing elements, including the alcovesand one set of the original obelisks. The project has been very well-received by thelocal community.Re-opening of the Penn Street Bridge in the y-heralds-completion-of-penn-streetbridge/article 6785e81a-1d16-11ea-bcb2-2b90c1eace40.html District 11-0: Allegheny Co., I-579 “Cap” Project, MPMS# 97846Using an FHWA-sponsored TIGER (Transportation Investment GeneratingEconomic Recovery) grant, the Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh andAllegheny County (SEA), the project sponsor, proposed to construct a cap over theI-579 Crosstown Expressway. The proposed project included the closure of apedestrian tunnel below Bigelow Boulevard. Lining the tunnel was a collection of 28Section 106 PA Annual Report for 201911
mosaic panels set in a marble surround designed by Virgil Cantini, a prominent localartist and educator. Through consultation with the State Historical and MuseumCommission (SHPO) and the involvement of Section 106 Consulting Parties,PennDOT, on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), determined themosaics (together with the pedestrian tunnel for which they were designed) eligiblefor listing on the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C as a publicworks project of high artistic value. The demolition resulted in an adverse effect tothis significant historic resource; however, the project demonstrated successfulcooperation of many organizations and success in minimizing effects through carefulremoval. In April 2019, the SEA, on behalf of the City of Pittsburgh (owner of themosaics) removed the 28 mosaic panels without any significant damage and movedthem to a secure storage facility. Consultation on identifying a relocation site isongoing.Section 106 PA Annual Report for 201912
Press coverage of the mosaic removals: gelow-boulevard/RecommendationsOne the issues that has vexed the Cultural Resources Group for years is specific toPATH: on the project details page under Section 106 information, the funding source isa manual entry (i.e., the cultural resources professional has to identify the source of thefunding for the project). The issue here is that, in many instances, this field is missed bythe staff person completing the project-level information leaving it for Central Office staffto correct on a monthly cycle. If the staff person does fill out this section, they may misidentify the funding source without identifying the specific section of PennDOT’s Multimodal Project Management System (MPMS). To correct these deficiencies, PennDOTis looking at a way to automate this field in a future PATH release, scheduled for spring2020.PennDOT has also been looking at ways to address a funding gap for preservinghistoric metal truss bridges. Late in 2019, 18 million was reserved on the draft StateTransportation Improvement Plan (STIP) to begin a ten-year program to rehabilitatelocally owned historic metal truss bridges not currently on the STIP. The focus will be onexceptional and historic preservation priority bridges. Along with this funding, our groupis planning to hire a historic preservation specialist with a background in historicpreservation planning. As previously mentioned, this person will assist in the trackingand marketing of PennDOT’s historic truss bridges, management of other historic bridgetypes and programs, and work with local governments and planning organizations toidentify bridges that can be marketed and removed from the road system.Section 106 PA Annual Report for 201913
